how wide are they, how tall are the tires on them, and what is the offset.

Wheels are 18/9 1/2. Just wondering has anyone run this combo under a truck with stock frame. The offset is 6 inches .
I am going to trade my 15 inch weld wheels for these 18 s
if they fit I need more ground clearence.

My best guess is No
too much back spacing unless you tub or narrow the rear axle.
I would think there are better ways to get more ground clearence!

I'd say no also. 8" maybe 8.5" width wheel is max without a tub.
I've got 18"x7" & 20"x8" (Mll frt, 10-bolt rear) with 4" back space front and rear. Front is fine, rear gets close when I lower it..

The only real way you will know is to trial fit them before doing the swap.

If it is this style of wheel the clearance issues will be to the inside rather than the outside as the back spacing is 5.9 inches and there is only about one inch offset to the outside.
